Army Tests Free‑Roam VR Training

⊲ Soldier Magazine ⊳ The British Army Royal Logistic Corps troops have trialled adaptive virtual reality training (AVRT), a free-roam system where users move naturally through virtual buildings while instructors observe in real time and conduct post-exercise 3D debriefs. The setup aims to improve tactical judgement and spatial awareness, particularly among younger recruits. Sgt John Walker (RLC), the NCO in charge of the package highlights the system’s ability to enhance tactical awareness and enthusiasm among soldiers. Early feedback suggests a rise in both engagement and skill retention, especially in complex urban scenarios that are hard to replicate physically. Additionally, haptic technology from Teslasuit adds realism by simulating environmental sensations.
